‘Almost Unlimited’ Patron-Driven Scanning and Responsive Processing in Special Collections and Archives

Mary Haegert

Houghton Library, Harvard University, United States of America

Brief Abstract

What would it mean to offer free, nearly unlimited scanning for patrons in special collections and archives? This lightning talk presents a service model that combines high-volume patron-driven scanning, responsive archival description, and strategic digitization. It expands access to collections while balancing labor and infrastructure through practical, scalable workflows.
